They don't like sunlight because the sparkle brighter than the sun.

Okay, okay, I'll be serious.

There's a pretty nice mix of history that didn't exactly come together into what we know today until around the turn of the 20th century. There was always a fear of people coming back from the dead. Other than that just the usual crap. Vlad the Impaler, blood-drinking, garlic repels them (sometimes), crosses, no reflection in mirror, sometimes they can turn into bats, etc etc etc.

Oh also the original conception of vampires had them as ugly monsters, but somehow over time it transformed from ugly monsters to monsters that look human to sexy men and women potentially with no inhibitions to sparkly goth/emo dudes. Basically further back in chronological time you get for their depiction, the more monstrous and extravagant they are, whereas the closer to modern times you get, the more they've become depicted almost normal. At this point "vampires" are regular people that suck blood (and I suspect all sense of division between vampire and succubus/incubus will soon fade and that'll change into sucking cock!).
